Technologies Used

• Node.js: Backend runtime environment for executing JavaScript.
• Express.js: Web framework used for managing routing, requests, server-side logic, and responses.
• EJS (Embedded JavaScript): Template engine for rendering dynamic HTML content.
• MongoDB: Database used for storing blog posts and user data.
• Mongoose: ODM library for MongoDB, making it easier to manage data.
• JWT (JSON Web Tokens): Used for secure user authentication.
